Diljit Dosanjh says Bihar concert was cancelled due to crowd management issues

The singer explained during an Instagram Live session that authorities would not take responsibility for managing large crowds in Bihar.

Singer Diljit Dosanjh revealed that a planned concert in Bihar was cancelled because of difficulties in managing the expected crowd, according to The Indian Express.

During an Instagram Live session, the singer said that organisers had attempted to go to Bihar previously but were told managing the crowd would be difficult.

Dosanjh stated that authorities asked if his team would take responsibility for the crowd, which he said they could not do.

The singer added that the logistics for such a large gathering would be similar to organising an event in Delhi.

Dosanjh also alleged that many people tried to stop his Delhi concert, which took place at Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium on October 30.

The Delhi concert was eventually cleared after organisers agreed to additional security and crowd-management measures following initial denials by the Delhi Police.
